Hi, I’m Megan

Certified Nutrition Specialist.
Perimenopause Nutrition Expert. Brooklyn, NY.

Before we get to credentials: I’ve been that person. Emergency snacks in every bag. Running on caffeine. Doing all the right things and still feeling like my body was fighting me. Then perimenopause hit, and I had to fight for every answer, every referral, every piece of information that should have just been handed to me. That’s why I do this work.


Where I started

A decade in fashion. Quietly falling apart.

For over a decade I worked in fashion, contributing to productions for Dolce and Gabbana, Cartier, Fenty, Tommy Hilfiger, and H&M. I managed collection spaces, bridged creative and production teams, and became the person who could translate between vision and execution. I loved it.

I wasn’t sleeping. My digestion was a disaster. I thought it was just the pace of the industry. It took my therapist telling me directly: this is not normal, you need to see a doctor. She was right. Getting better changed everything. I went deep into learning how the body actually works, and somewhere in the middle of a major production, I realized I cared more about that conversation than the job I was being paid to do. So I went back to school.

Why perimenopause

Then my own body started shifting.

I earned my MS in Integrative Nutrition, became a Certified Nutrition Specialist, and completed a Functional Nutrition Residency at Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s Sandy Hook Clinic. I built a clinical practice. And then I recognized in myself everything I was seeing in my clients: hot flashes at 3am, brain fog mid-sentence, joints aching after workouts that used to feel easy, mood shifts, hair thinning, motivation dipping.

I know what it’s like to sit across from a doctor and be told everything looks fine when nothing feels fine. I know what it’s like to become your own Google-certified hormone expert just to get basic support. I’ve had to advocate for myself at every turn, and that experience is baked into how I practice.

That bandwidth you’re spending on late-night research spirals? It belongs somewhere else: your work, your relationships, the things that bring you joy. My job is to take that burden off your plate. You shouldn’t have to earn a second degree to understand what’s happening in your own body.

How I work

Science. Lived experience. Compassion.

My years in fashion taught me how women actually relate to their bodies: not just biologically, but how they feel in them, how they move through the world, how quietly losing that connection erodes everything else. That attunement is baked into how I practice.

Clinically, I look at blood sugar regulation, gut health, stress, sleep, hormones, and environmental exposures. Everything runs through the Perimenopause Matrix™, my six-pillar framework covering how you fuel, move, sleep, regulate, connect, and engage with your environment. It’s how I make sure nothing gets missed.

I built this practice because no woman should have to become a perimenopause expert just to get the support she deserves. That’s my job. Let me take it from here.
